— “Yenisei” amazed everyone with its high results in the current United League championship. He also beat your team on his site. Are you surprised by your opponent’s agility? What is your mood before the home match against Krasnoyarsk?
— The atmosphere is positive. We returned home after the victory over MBA. Now we are training, preparing for the match. “Yenisei” surprised only at the beginning of the season, but now you take this opponent much more seriously. They have a very serious team with an excellent coach. Everyone knows their role and acts together on set. It is therefore not for nothing that they occupy fifth place in the ranking. In a match with all opponents, they bite. After all, they ultimately only lost to CSKA. The fight there was fierce. And we lost to them in the first round. For us, it’s a game of principle. They are our neighbors in the rankings. We will therefore approach this match as seriously as possible and prepare ourselves. It won’t be easy. But we are playing at home and the support of the fans will help us. We must therefore do everything to succeed and secure fourth place.
— What do you think are your advantages over Yenisei, apart from the home stands?
— “Yenisey” plays through two people. We have more leaders, more guys who can take initiative. And we have more turnover. It is therefore through team play that we must succeed. You have to play intense basketball for 40 minutes. I think it should bear fruit,” Shcherbenev told the correspondent.
